Chapter 1409: No Matter the Life and Death of the Troops at a Critical Moment
Ninagawa Nishiemon sent a telegram to the film agency, but received a reply in the early morning:
"Shameless Doihara! When did I tell on you? Tell me! Where are you? I'll come over and argue with you."
Ninagawa Nishiemon walked into the command post, but tried his best to wake up Doihara Kan'ei.
Gao Qiao Xiaozheng was awakened by him, took the telegram and shouted:
"General! The Eighth Route Army is coming."
Doihara Kenji jumped up and rolled off the bed.
He got up and tried to run away, but was caught by Ninagawa Nishiemon.
Takahashi Kosho handed the message to Doihara Kan'er and said with a smile:
"The head of the Shadow Agency sent you a message."
“It was just a dream!”
Doihara Kenji suddenly realized what was going on, took the message and read it, then said angrily:
"Fujiwara no Daisuke also said that this general is shameless. He is shameless, looking for so many women."
Takahashi Komasa said with a smile: "General! I think it's very prestigious to find a woman."
Doihara Xianer was so angry that he yelled, "Get lost!"
Takahashi Xiaozheng just wanted to sleep, so he quickly slipped away.
Doihara Ken'er didn't want him to feel comfortable, so he shouted, "Stop! I'll punish you by making you feed the dog soldiers."
"Hello!"
Takahashi Komasa reluctantly accepted the order and walked towards the gate.
Doihara Kan'er pointed behind him and shouted:
"Stay! The dog soldiers are in the dog farm in the back mountain. Go through the tunnel."
Takahashi Komasa turned and walked towards the back door, muttering as he walked:
"What tunnel? Isn't it just a bigger dog hole?"
Ninagawa Nishiemon requested: "General! Would you please tell the Shadow Chief our location?"
Doihara Xian'er sneered, "Tell him? Tell him to tell the Chinese Eighth Route Army my location? Let the Eighth Route Army launch a surprise attack and wipe us out?"
Ninagawa Nishiemon said with a smile: "How could the head of the Kagemoto tell the Eighth Route Army? I wanted to send a telegram to lure him here and let the dogs bite him to death."
Doihara Xianer nodded and said, "Yoshi! Let me feed this general's divine dog. Haha!"
"Kill the devils! Kill the vicious dogs!"
Suddenly, the shouts and gunshots of the Eighth Route Army soldiers were heard all around.
Doihara Xian'er was surprised and asked, "Captain of the Shadow Agency told the Eighth Route Army about our location so quickly?"
Ninagawa Nishiemon said angrily: "General! I didn't send a telegram. Run away now."
Doihara Kenji came to his senses and shouted, "Quick! Let Ishiba Takefu fight back. Take the radio and follow me through the tunnel to the dog farm."
"Hello!"
Ninagawa Nishiemon hurriedly accepted the order.
Doihara Kenji picked up his backpack, turned around and ran towards the ditch.
Since joining the army, he has mastered the skills of escaping.
The assault force consisted of more than a thousand people from the Wuxing Mountain Special Operations Detachment.
Led by Chen Feng and Ai Hai, they rushed over overnight after receiving orders from their superiors.
Chen Feng ordered: "Chief of Staff! You lead the troops to attack head-on, and I will lead people to the back mountain to encircle and prevent Doihara Ken'er from escaping."
Ai Hai said anxiously: "Captain! Doihara Xian'er is too cunning. We have been dealing with him for many years. I'd better lead the people to the back mountain."
Before he could finish, Chen Feng had already led his men towards the back mountain.
Ai Hai ordered loudly: "Grenade launcher company! Fire in two waves in batches."
12 grenade launchers were fired, and 12 shells hit the pile of Japanese soldiers who were firing back, causing countless casualties.
This Eighth Route Army unit actually had grenade launchers, and they were very accurate in their shots, leaving the Japanese stunned.
One of the Japanese soldiers was timid and suggested: "Captain! Let's retreat."
Shi Po Mengfu was arrogant and shouted loudly: "Baga! The Eighth Route Army is using homemade artillery, keep firing back."
The Japanese soldiers were well disciplined and did not dare to retreat on their own, so they continued to fight back.
"Boom! Boom!"
The 12-barrel grenade launchers fired the second salvo, and 12 shells once again smashed into the pile of Japanese enemies.
"withdraw!"
Shi Po Mengfu roared and ran towards the back mountain.
The remaining Japanese soldiers hurriedly followed his footsteps.
The back mountain is relatively quiet.
Chen Feng's troops have not yet surrounded the enemy.
Doihara Kenji and his three men, along with their dog soldiers, chose to retreat at the first opportunity.
After they climbed out of the dog hole, they fled along the forest path to the lush vegetation in the south.
Takahashi Xiaozheng said in great confusion: "General! Why don't you let the dog soldiers attack and fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army who came to attack us?"
As he ran, Doihara Xian'er said, "The dog soldiers can only attack the Eighth Route Army by surprise, how can they be attacked by the Eighth Route Army by surprise?"
Takahashi Komasa shook his head and said, "But if you leave Ishiba Takeo and Takeshi behind, you will lose your status as the head of Takeshi Agency."
Doihara Xian'er sneered, "Fools! If I hadn't left them behind to stop us, how could I have escaped?"
Ninagawa Nishiemon sighed and said, "Alas! Ishiba Takeo never knew until his death that he was a discarded pawn."
Doihara Xian'er ordered: "Xiao Zheng! Go back and block the entrance and exit of the dog hole so that the Eighth Route Army can't chase us."
Takahashi Komasa taunted, "You want to make it so that Ishiba Takeo can't use this escape route either."
Doihara Kan'er flatly denied it: "Nonsense! I am here to protect the dog soldiers. Go now!"
"Hello!"
Takahashi Xiaozheng accepted the order reluctantly, turned around and ran to the back.
Behind them, there were fierce gunshots and shouting.
"Listen up, Japs! I am an elite soldier from the Wuxing Mountain Special Operations Brigade. Hurry up and lay down your weapons and surrender. I will spare your life."
Ishiba Takefu was roaring: "Warriors of the Empire! Doihara Ken'er has abandoned us. We will fight against the Chinese Eighth Route Army in Wuxing Mountain."
Immediately, the sound of artillery, grenades and shell explosions was heard one after another.
The sound of gunfire became less and less frequent, and the number of Japanese soldiers led by Shi Po Mengfu decreased with each attack. It would not be long before the whole army was wiped out.
Takahashi Komasa thought to himself, "Ishiba Takeo's troops don't have heavy weapons and can't withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army Special Operations Detachment. I can't close the passage. Let's just run away."
He was too lazy to care about the entrance and turned around to chase after Doihara Ken'er.
In the north, Ai Hai had led his troops into Guanshan South Village.
All the Japanese in the village had been killed in the battle. Not a single prisoner was captured, not even a dog.
Ai Hai hurriedly led his troops to the back mountain, where he met up with Chen Feng and surrounded and killed the remaining Japanese devils.
Chen Feng said happily: "Chief of Staff! The remaining Japanese are like turtles in a jar."
Ai Hai nodded and said, "Yes! We will launch a general attack at dawn and wipe them out in one fell swoop. But why didn't we kill even one dog when we killed so many devils?"
Chen Feng said thoughtfully, "Maybe he's been imprisoned somewhere and hasn't been released yet. Don't worry about it for now! Chief of Staff! Order all troops to stop attacking and surround the back mountain. Don't let even a fly escape. I want to capture Doihara Ken'er alive."
"Yes!"
Ai Hai hurriedly accepted the order.
In the back mountain, Shi Po Mengfu gathered the remaining Japanese devils together.
Including the seriously wounded, there were less than 20 people left, and they were out of ammunition and food.
Shi Po Mengfu was completely disappointed and said bitterly: "Everyone in the army said that Doihara Ken'er was selfish and didn't care about the lives of the troops at the critical moment. It turned out to be true!
"Radio operator! Send a message to the commander of the North China Front Army. 203 members of the Ishiba Squadron were killed in Guanshan South Village, and the chief of the Takenori Division, Doihara Kenji, escaped without permission."
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator hurriedly took the order and sent the message.
The sky is turning pale and a new day is coming.
Shi Po Mengfu drew his command knife, pointed at the mountain and roared:
"Peaches, give! Fight to the death with the Chinese Eighth Route Army. Kill!"
"kill!"
The Japanese soldiers all let out hysterical roars.
Shi Po Mengfu led the Japanese soldiers down the mountain.
